A Unix.

With applications.

And working webcam light and audio.

How does deleting 18F translate into rich people taking money?

no, it's hardware. this is why sociopaths exist, they lack it

it's just biological fact, it takes time for the brain to build the areas of empathy

I mean it literally. 3 year olds literally do not have the brain development required for empathy and will literally kick you in the head one moment and ask you for a sandwich the next

No, young kids are sociopaths. they do not yet have well developed faculties of empathy. They will kick you in the head one second and ask for a sandwich the next.

if your hardware supports mesh shaders properly, it won't be very hard for it to also support these other features emulated in software (geometry shaders, tessellation, lines etc).

But mesh shaders are fairly new, will take a few years for the hardware and software to adapt.

In philosophy of mind it's not something that would raise an eyebrow

it's commonplace to hold the opinion that an individual particle is slightly conscious

the point of eliminativism is exactly to eliminate, not reduce.

These are all very basic concepts from philosophy of mind, you are complaining about using words such as "linked list" when talking about CS topics.

Translated the quote says: "Illusionism is a position in which there is nothing happening in the brain except the physical process as known via modern day physics, or a future physics very similar to modern day physics, that position (illusionism) is the position that other things the mind is claimed to be able to do such as vivid experiences of colours or pain (qualia)are in fact nothing more than an illusion that happens then the brain queries its own systems. The attention schema theory (AST) relates this philosophical stance to a large body of experimental data and states that consciousness of experiences (qualia again, collars, pain, sound etc) arises from a model the brain generates of control what it gives attention to.

Buying a book means buying the paper the book is printed on, the intellectual content (text) is not bought. You are allowed to resell the paper. And you are in fact not buying a license to use a book when you buy a book, you are literally buying the actual physical book.

But you bought a license to use the game. If you had truly bought the game you would be within your legal right to resell it (via copying to 100 people), which you are not.

What they will do is simply fine them until they comply. Apple is a public company, their share holders won't let them exit the EU over such a small thing.
